🎶 The Only Exception

G Dm Cmaj7 x2
VERSE1
[G]When I was younger I saw my daddy [Dm]cry and curse at [Cmaj7]the wind
He [G]broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to [Dm]re-assemble [Cmaj7]it
And [G]my mama swore that she would never let [Dm]herself [Cmaj7]forget
And [G]that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of [Dm]love
if it does not [Cmaj7]exist, but darling
CHORUS
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only [G]exception
VERSE2
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my [Dm]soul that love [Cmaj7]never lasts
And [G]we've got to find other ways to make it [Dm]alone or keep a [Cmaj7]straight face
And [G]I've always lived like this, keeping a [Dm]comfortable [Cmaj7]distance
And [G]up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm [Dm]content [Cmaj7]with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
CHORUS
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only [Am]exception
BRIDGE
[D]
I've got a [Am]tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let [G]go of what's in front of me [D]here
I know you're [Am]leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me [G]with some kind of proof it's not a [D]dream, [C]whoa
CHORUS
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are [Cmaj7]the only exception
OUTRO
And [F]I'm on my [C]way to [G]believing
Oh, and [F]I'm on my [C]way to [G]believing.
